In review, I would say the mission was a success and worth it. Look at the overwhelming % of empty Spezi on the table!

Tenth hurdle ✅
The streets of Brussels are almost level between Osseghem and HSBXL and I can cross without issues. I was about to get stuck between some bins when a garbage truck drifts around the corner and clears the way right in front of me.

Ninth hurdle ❌
The advertised elevator exists... but is out of service for maintenance from *today* of all days. Taking my chances with another escalator...

Seventh hurdle ❌
Friends from HSBXL advice me there is an elevator at Osseghem Meetup station, so I decide to take the Metro. Maybe I'm oblivious to something but I found it impossible to find an elevator down to the Metro, so I took an escalator with hello from a friendly local. On the first sublevel where you check into public transport, I finally spot the elevator. My credit card refuses to be used to check in, so I buy some paper.

Fifth hurdle ❔
The gap is even worse than where I got on in Aachen Central due to the curved platform. Guess I could've asked for mobility help as the Brits getting off after me did, so giving this one a ❔.

Fourth hurdle ❔
The dolly handle compresses, still it doesn't entirely fit the luggage compartment While packed. Looks like #DB isn't a proper Spezi transport company... yet. I hope nobody minds the wheels.

Third hurdle ❌
Boarded #ICE16 with even more trouble than the previous RB20. The gap is too big for my dolly wheels and the stairs don't help.
